light hammers, sickles, spears, flails have no love. bad damage, bad crits, so id propse some love feats for them, for those who want to specialize in them.
light hammers, i propose a feat something like this:
hammerhands
dwarf only
requires two weapon fighting
when wielding two light hammers, a dwarf can...
sickle
weapons grab
something akin to disarm, or an extra deflection armor when wielding a sickle, or both, since disarm is pretty useless PvE
spear
trip?
flail
momentum
req 14 dex
when your first attack with a flail misses, the next attack will land an extra 1d4 damage.

Well, since you asked, yes, in some cases.
For example, the Halberd of vanilla NWN2 is a Large weapon with 1d10 dmg. In 3.5 D&D, a medium size Halberd is 1d10, and a large size Halberd is 2d8.
So in this one instance, the upgrade to 1d12 is a fair compromise.

dnd 3.5 says sickle and flails can make trip attacks, and the flail has a +2 bonus on disarm attempts.
spears can be thrown, and, if held at the ready state, do double damage agianst a charging opponent. i like that one. none of these even need a special feat.

Trip.
It maybe possible to add a bonus to the Disarm DC when specific weapons are equipped...but you'd have to ask Le Valefort extra nice to take a look and see if at all possible.
BTW, when Charging, a PC is extra vulnerable to piercing weapons wielded by the opponent.
